      Sorry to keep annoying everybody but I started a new ebook called "The Curse of the Golden Bridge". I tried to make it in the style of of an old adventure movie.

      The bridge used in the book is one I actually designed. A three span steel haunched girder. (enhanced for the book of course.)

      Get a free pdf download of part one at http://www.bridgerobots.com (and other books)

      or click

      I haven't finished part two or three...

      I would appreciate any feedback you have, I'm new at the kids ebook field and I'm not exactly sure what I am doing. All images, so far, are made with Kerkythea..

      Thanks!

      Stuart

          Thanks Bryan! Trying to make the books is fun but trying to find readers is a challenge!

          Thanks again for taking a look!

            Happy New Year! I have started on part two of my latest "book" and will post it when I can.

            I would appreciate any feedback if you have shown the books to a kid. Did they like it or hate it? Too little bridge stuff or too much?

            I have started playing around with a giant squid, here is a first look. (I know it should have more legs but they are a pain to manipulate, plus its a robot.)

            Thanks!

            Stuart

              The ebooks are free and hopefully a mix of fun and bridge engineering.

              Thanks, now off to work on the finale!
